Joni Mitchell singing Circle Game, Newport Folk Festival, July 2022 

Do you have some idea what you try to mean by “ internalizing” ?

I think not

She's one of the greatest, it is hers, she could hum it, i'd still love her.

You are so right

Agree!

Best poet of the 20th century!

Why trash any woman after hearing such a beautiful tribute ?smh

Agreed I just love Joni mitchell and I will never stop listening. She's brilliant 😊

Was

@@rustynail246. “Was”? She still alive, doughball.

@@rustynail246. What was the last genius artistic statement you made? I think it was that last comment! What a sad sod you are.

@@terrypussypower dumbazz, she's too old to be a "is". She's done.

Me too, so many tears. Joni's older alto voice expresses deeper meaning, more experience, and the bittersweet passage of time so much better than her younger crisper voice. Perhaps, I appreciate her seasoned voice more now as I also age.

Listen to the original recording, then listen to her now, I would cry too, that's because time has no mercy, and everyone will get old and die.

@@rustynail246 you’re missing the beauty of it… she wrote and sang the song as a young woman and then sang it as an older woman - in between that time she lived her life and aged into her song. It’s like the young Joni singing to the old Joni and maybe vice versa. And if you’re lucky enough, you’ll live to be older, too, and will be able to look back on the tapestry of your life to see how this song is true for you, too.

@@chrisbrunelle39 No, no, no you are totally missing the point. When those songs were written, time seemed to stand still, and your youth would last forever. Until you found out that you couldn't drag your feet to slow the circle down. One day you wake up, look back, you are so fg old, and so much are left undone in your life, and you are about to meet your maker, there's no positive spin about this. Sad.

Yes aging can be sad, if we look at it that way. It is still a beautiful song no matter how old the singer is.@@rustynail246

Good God, no. Don't saddle her with that nonsense which she didn't buy into. She trod her own path, she saw the right and the wrong in the ideas of her time, the good AND the bad of the "Hippy Generation". Her entire impact on the world springs from her independence of mind, she is no movement or generation's High Priestess. To adopt her as the representative of anything is to have failed to see her utter uniqueness.

Her magical left her long ago.

@@rustynail246. Are you mental?

@@terrypussypower nope, you just can't handle the truth, that's all.

After watching Joni sing.🥰 I believe the definition of magical there should be a photo of Joni Mitchell's face in that dictionary. Outstanding performance for a woman who had to sit in the chair because she can't even stand, But boy can she sing as if she was back in the '60s her voice sounding like it never aged.😊 God bless you, Joni

Brandi Carlisle 🙄

​@kkroessner also brilliant

And after seven months, your taste hasn't gotten any better. Don't come back.

Joni is getting so much more respect and love than she ever got from mainstream musicians in the earlier part of her career.

Do your homework on those friends; you might change your mind my friend.

That's not very nice ... she's loved

You really think bundling her away in an institution is more humane than this?

😂😂

They all look like generics 😂laughing

@@Matybigfro Not humane, but it's the reality. They let the old folks get together and sing at the home too.
